Finally got to do an imaging run after seemingly months of cloud.
I chose this interesting group of galaxies, after seeing it plotted on Star Atlas pro.
6x10 mins ISO200. UV/IR filter and Baader MPCC coma corrector. Hutech modded 350D. 10 inch f5.6 newtonian. Processed in Iris then PS as usual. Had to work so not a late night, the group was still in the east in brighter light pollution than right overhead, but that was too late for me. Had to guild the old fashioned way, manually with an illuminated recticle as there were rarely, no stars bright enough for the Q quider, faint stars arent picked up because the coma spreads their light across too may pixels. Ironically the human eye can seemingly account for that.

Nice work Scott - it's great to see the hardened pro’s pointing their big guns at these difficult, distant, faint, fuzzies whilst the rest of us take it easy with wide field Moon, Jupiter and Venus photos!
Many thanks all.
Yes I was thinking it would make a nice target for the astro CCD folk, to go nice and deep under dark country skies.
This why I love astrophotography, the fact I can pull this detail out of awfully bright skies. It would be a struggle to see these galaxies visually under such a sky.
It sure is an standout that spindle galaxy. Yes I think the ellipticals are the more massive galaxies.
